刷 is made from 刂 (knife) on the right and 尸 on the left. 尸 represents a body or something lying flat. 刂 represents a blade used to cut or scrape. Together, they show using a blade to scrape or clean something lying flat. From this action of scraping, 刷 came to mean to brush, scrub, or print.
刷 shows scraping or brushing something clean with a blade.
Picture scraping dirt off a flat surface (尸) with a sharp blade (刂). That brushing or scrubbing action is 刷.
